My advice would be to go in with a positive mindset. Leave your worries home and hope for all to go well.

Wish you all the very best. 😊

To any of you concerned about GERD and reflux-I was going to have the Gastric Sleeve but when I had an EGD with Bravo it was discovered I had off the charts GERD. My surgeon said it would be better for me to have the Gastric Bypass……

yes - that's the usual recommendation for patients with GERD. Sleeve can make that worse (it doesn't in everyone, but it does in some). Bypass usually improves if not outright cures it. I had bypass for the same reason.

I had a sleeve and developed severe GERD after. Now I'm getting a revision to bypass.

I’m sending thoughts of warm puppies and Spring flowers. Bypass helped my GERD immensely. I became able to lie down flat to sleep. ZZZZZ
